What happens to a voice that has nowhere to go?
What happens to sadness that nobody sees?
When death knocks upon your door, what will you do with that weight-- the weight of all that unspent love?

  Threading through the universe are railways that deliver the dead to the Great Beyond, and traveling those rails is a cursed individual with no place to go. Caught between life and death, the man resigns himself to the tendrils of dark that wrap around his body like cocoon. Days and night are all the same. One day, it'll all disappear.

  At the edge of a shore-- in a place that that time forgot-- with the illusionary sunrise painting the rubble gold-- A wayward soul watches the sky, and the journey begins with a gift.

  A field of phantoms. An ocean of starlight. A city of shadows. A flower pinned above the heart. A song ringing through the dark. A goodbye despite it all.

  Two lonely travelers fall asleep to the sound of a heartbeat. It can only end one way, but before then...
